Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 -- Kath: I found through a Google search the criteria for clinical depression some time ago. Maybe you or someone here can find it for you and you can print it out and fill it in and have do the same and see if his nursing eye for the printed word makes sense to him and you. Also have you checked the meds he is taking many have sleepiness side effects.. Also, I remember the discussion about caffeine helping some. Bob is suffering the same symptoms of the sleepiness. I do believe it is the combination of psc, hold over of ambien for sleep ( he has always been a night person and so when he us up late and has napped all day he can't sleep and takes sleeping pill, vicious circle), and depression. He like finds no joy in mudville. He is short tempered and very into himself. Bob has had an ileo for 30 years and I know he dehydrates quickly and does not eat during the day because of gas and his job makes that an embrassment. The low sugar thing really bugs me because I know that is part of the tiredness. Oh well, just my thoughts and keep the faith baby, you are a good wife. Just remember this side of the fence sucks too. dee in peoria, wife of Bob 61, uc, ileo, psc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
